A processor is coupled to the readers for receiving and processing readings of the RFID tags in the compartment to identify the medical products in the compartments.

The processor may verify that the medical product removed from the compartment is authorized to be removed or confirm that an identified patient is intended to receive the medical product being removed from the compartment.
